MacBook Woes

So, a couple weeks ago I purchased a new Intel-based MacBook, and while it is a great piece of hardware and OSX is very cool, I am getting increasingly frustrated trying to set it up as a machine I can use for development (some of my initial woes made it into the recent ColdFusion Weekly podcast). My hope was to use Parallels to host my ColdFusion install on IIS (because this replicates most of my hosting environments at the moment), but to develop within OSX using CFEclipse. I feel as if I am 90% there and I can see the finish line, but recently I have been running in place. I figured perhaps someone out there has successfully done a similar setup and can share their secrets (Sean?). Keep in mind if anything I mention sounds idiotic that I am new to Mac and have also never been particularly good at networking.
